Paper 149
The Second Preaching Tour
149:0.1 The second public preaching tour
of Galilee began on Sunday, October 3, A.D. 28, and continued
for almost three months, ending on December 30. Participating
in this effort were Jesus and his twelve apostles, assisted
by the newly recruited corps of 117 evangelists and by numerous
other interested persons. On this tour they visited Gadara,
Ptolemais, Japhia, Dabaritta, Megiddo, Jezreel, Scythopolis,
Tarichea, Hippos, Gamala, Bethsaida-Julias, and many other cities
and villages.
149:0.2 Before the departure on this Sunday morning Andrew and
Peter asked Jesus to give the final charge to the new evangelists,
but the Master declined, saying that it was not his province
to do those things which others could acceptably perform. After
due deliberation it was decided that James Zebedee should administer
the charge. At the conclusion of James's remarks Jesus said
to the evangelists: "Go now forth to do the work as you
have been charged, and later on, when you have shown yourselves
competent and faithful, I will ordain you to preach the gospel
of the kingdom."
149:0.3 On this tour only James and John traveled with Jesus.
Peter and the other apostles each took with them about one dozen
of the evangelists and maintained close contact with them while
they carried on their work of preaching and teaching. As fast
as believers were ready to enter the kingdom, the apostles would
administer baptism. Jesus and his two companions traveled extensively
during these three months, often visiting two cities in one
day to observe the work of the evangelists and to encourage
them in their efforts to establish the kingdom. This entire
second preaching tour was principally an effort to afford practical
experience for this corps of 117 newly trained evangelists.
149:0.4 Throughout this period and subsequently, up to the time
of the final departure of Jesus and the twelve for Jerusalem,
David Zebedee maintained a permanent headquarters for the work
of the kingdom in his father's house at Bethsaida. This was
the clearinghouse for Jesus' work on earth and the relay station
for the messenger service which David carried on between the
workers in various parts of Palestine and adjacent regions.
He did all of this on his own initiative but with the approval
of Andrew. David employed forty to fifty messengers in this
intelligence division of the rapidly enlarging and extending
work of the kingdom. While thus employed, he partially supported
himself by spending some of his time at his old work of fishing.

1. The Widespread
Fame of Jesus
149:1.1 By the time the camp at Bethsaida
had been broken up, the fame of Jesus, particularly as a healer,
had spread to all parts of Palestine and through all of Syria
and the surrounding countries. For weeks after they left Bethsaida,
the sick continued to arrive, and when they did not find the
Master, on learning from David where he was, they would go in
search of him. On this tour Jesus did not deliberately perform
any so-called miracles of healing. Nevertheless, scores of afflicted
found restoration of health and happiness as a result of the
reconstructive power of the intense faith which impelled them
to seek for healing.
149:1.2 There began to appear about the time of this mission-and
continued throughout the remainder of Jesus' life on earth-a
peculiar and unexplained series of healing phenomena. In the
course of this three months' tour more than one hundred men,
women, and children from Judea, Idumea, Galilee, Syria, Tyre,
and Sidon, and from beyond the Jordan were beneficiaries of
this unconscious healing by Jesus and, returning to their homes,
added to the enlargement of Jesus' fame. And they did this notwithstanding
that Jesus would, every time he observed one of these cases
of spontaneous healing, directly charge the beneficiary to "tell
no man."
149:1.3 It was never revealed to us just what occurred in these
cases of spontaneous or unconscious healing. The Master never
explained to his apostles how these healings were effected,
other than that on several occasions he merely said, "I
perceive that power has gone forth from me." On one occasion
he remarked when touched by an ailing child,"I perceive
that life has gone forth from me."
149:1.4 In the absence of direct word from the Master regarding
the nature of these cases of spontaneous healing, it would be
presuming on our part to undertake to explain how they were
accomplished, but it will be permissible to record our opinion
of all such healing phenomena. We believe that many of these
apparent miracles of healing, as they occurred in the course
of Jesus' earth ministry, were the result of the coexistence
of the following three powerful, potent, and associated influences:
149:1.5 The presence of strong, dominant, and living faith in
the heart of the human being who persistently sought healing,
together with the fact that such healing was desired for its
spiritual benefits rather than for purely physical restoration.
149:1.6 The existence, concomitant with such human faith, of
the great sympathy and compassion of the incarnated and mercy-dominated
Creator Son of God, who actually possessed in his person almost
unlimited and timeless creative healing powers and prerogatives.
149:1.7 Along with the faith of the creature and the life of
the Creator it should also be noted that this God-man was the
personified expression of the Father's will. If, in the contact
of the human need and the divine power to meet it, the Father
did not will otherwise, the two became one, and the healing
occurred unconsciously to the human Jesus but was immediately
recognized by his divine nature. The explanation, then, of many
of these cases of healing must be found in a great law which
has long been known to us, namely, What the Creator Son desires
and the eternal Father wills IS.
149:1.8 It is, then, our opinion that, in the personal presence
of Jesus, certain forms of profound human faith were literally
and truly compelling in the manifestation of healing by certain
creative forces and personalities of the universe who were at
that time so intimately associated with the Son of Man. It therefore
becomes a fact of record that Jesus did frequently suffer men
to heal themselves in his presence by their powerful, personal
faith.
149:1.9 Many others sought healing for wholly selfish purposes.
A rich widow of Tyre, with her retinue, came seeking to be healed
of her infirmities, which were many; and as she followed Jesus
about through Galilee, she continued to offer more and more
money, as if the power of God were something to be purchased
by the highest bidder. But never would she become interested
in the gospel of the kingdom; it was only the cure of her physical
ailments that she sought.

2. Attitude
of the People
149:2.1 Jesus understood the minds of men.
He knew what was in the heart of man, and had his teachings
been left as he presented them, the only commentary being the
inspired interpretation afforded by his earth life, all nations
and all religions of the world would speedily have embraced
the gospel of the kingdom. The well-meant efforts of Jesus'
early followers to restate his teachings so as to make them
the more acceptable to certain nations, races, and religions,
only resulted in making such teachings the less acceptable to
all other nations, races, and religions.
149:2.2 The Apostle Paul, in his efforts to bring the teachings
of Jesus to the favorable notice of certain groups in his day,
wrote many letters of instruction and admonition. Other teachers
of Jesus' gospel did likewise, but none of them realized that
some of these writings would subsequently be brought together
by those who would set them forth as the embodiment of the teachings
of Jesus. And so, while so-called Christianity does contain
more of the Master's gospel than any other religion, it does
also contain much that Jesus did not teach. Aside from the incorporation
of many teachings from the Persian mysteries and much of the
Greek philosophy into early Christianity, two great mistakes
were made:
149:2.3 The effort to connect the gospel teaching directly onto
the Jewish theology, as illustrated by the Christian doctrines
of the atonement-the teaching that Jesus was the sacrificed
Son who would satisfy the Father's stern justice and appease
the divine wrath. These teachings originated in a praiseworthy
effort to make the gospel of the kingdom more acceptable to
disbelieving Jews. Though these efforts failed as far as winning
the Jews was concerned, they did not fail to confuse and alienate
many honest souls in all subsequent generations.
149:2.4 The second great blunder of the Master's early followers,
and one which all subsequent generations have persisted in perpetuating,
was to organize the Christian teaching so completely about the
person of Jesus. This overemphasis of the personality of Jesus
in the theology of Christianity has worked to obscure his teachings,
and all of this has made it increasingly difficult for Jews,
Mohammedans, Hindus, and other Eastern religionists to accept
the teachings of Jesus. We would not belittle the place of the
person of Jesus in a religion which might bear his name, but
we would not permit such consideration to eclipse his inspired
life or to supplant his saving message: the fatherhood of God
and the brotherhood of man.
149:2.5 The teachers of the religion of Jesus should approach
other religions with the recognition of the truths which are
held in common (many of which come directly or indirectly from
Jesus' message) while they refrain from placing so much emphasis
on the differences.
149:2.6 While, at that particular time, the fame of Jesus rested
chiefly upon his reputation as a healer, it does not follow
that it continued so to rest. As time passed, more and more
he was sought for spiritual help. But it was the physical cures
that made the most direct and immediate appeal to the common
people. Jesus was increasingly sought by the victims of moral
enslavement and mental harassments, and he invariably taught
them the way of deliverance. Fathers sought his advice regarding
the management of their sons, and mothers came for help in the
guidance of their daughters. Those who sat in darkness came
to him, and he revealed to them the light of life. His ear was
ever open to the sorrows of mankind, and he always helped those
who sought his ministry.
149:2.7 When the Creator himself was on earth, incarnated in
the likeness of mortal flesh, it was inevitable that some extraordinary
things should happen. But you should never approach Jesus through
these so-called miraculous occurrences. Learn to approach the
miracle through Jesus, but do not make the mistake of approaching
Jesus through the miracle. And this admonition is warranted,
notwithstanding that Jesus of Nazareth is the only founder of
a religion who performed supermaterial acts on earth.
149:2.8 The most astonishing and the most revolutionary feature
of Michael's mission on earth was his attitude toward women.
In a day and generation when a man was not supposed to salute
even his own wife in a public place, Jesus dared to take women
along as teachers of the gospel in connection with his third
tour of Galilee. And he had the consummate courage to do this
in the face of the rabbinic teaching which declared that it
was "better that the words of the law should be burned
than delivered to women."
149:2.9 In one generation Jesus lifted women out of the disrespectful
oblivion and the slavish drudgery of the ages. And it is the
one shameful thing about the religion that presumed to take
Jesus' name that it lacked the moral courage to follow this
noble example in its subsequent attitude toward women.
149:2.10 As Jesus mingled with the people, they found him entirely
free from the superstitions of that day. He was free from religious
prejudices; he was never intolerant. He had nothing in his heart
resembling social antagonism. While he complied with the good
in the religion of his fathers, he did not hesitate to disregard
man-made traditions of superstition and bondage. He dared to
teach that catastrophes of nature, accidents of time, and other
calamitous happenings are not visitations of divine judgments
or mysterious dispensations of Providence. He denounced slavish
devotion to meaningless ceremonials and exposed the fallacy
of materialistic worship. He boldly proclaimed man's spiritual
freedom and dared to teach that mortals of the flesh are indeed
and in truth sons of the living God.
149:2.11 Jesus transcended all the teachings of his forebears
when he boldly substituted clean hearts for clean hands as the
mark of true religion. He put reality in the place of tradition
and swept aside all pretensions of vanity and hypocrisy. And
yet this fearless man of God did not give vent to destructive
criticism or manifest an utter disregard of the religious, social,
economic, and political usages of his day. He was not a militant
revolutionist; he was a progressive evolutionist. He engaged
in the destruction of that which was only when he simultaneously
offered his fellows the superior thing which ought to be.
149:2.12 Jesus received the obedience of his followers without
exacting it. Only three men who received his personal call refused
to accept the invitation to discipleship. He exercised a peculiar
drawing power over men, but he was not dictatorial. He commanded
confidence, and no man ever resented his giving a command. He
assumed absolute authority over his disciples, but no one ever
objected. He permitted his followers to call him Master.
149:2.13 The Master was admired by all who met him except by
those who entertained deep-seated religious prejudices or those
who thought they discerned political dangers in his teachings.
Men were astonished at the originality and authoritativeness
of his teaching. They marveled at his patience in dealing with
backward and troublesome inquirers. He inspired hope and confidence
in the hearts of all who came under his ministry. Only those
who had not met him feared him, and he was hated only by those
who regarded him as the champion of that truth which was destined
to overthrow the evil and error which they had determined to
hold in their hearts at all cost.
149:2.14 On both friends and foes he exercised a strong and
peculiarly fascinating influence. Multitudes would follow him
for weeks, just to hear his gracious words and behold his simple
life. Devoted men and women loved Jesus with a well-nigh superhuman
affection. And the better they knew him the more they loved
him. And all this is still true; even today and in all future
ages, the more man comes to know this God-man, the more he will
love and follow after him.

3. Hostility of the Religious
Leaders
149:3.1 Notwithstanding the favorable reception
of Jesus and his teachings by the common people, the religious
leaders at Jerusalem became increasingly alarmed and antagonistic.
The Pharisees had formulated a systematic and dogmatic theology.
Jesus was a teacher who taught as the occasion served; he was
not a systematic teacher. Jesus taught not so much from the
law as from life, by parables. (And when he employed a parable
for illustrating his message, he designed to utilize just one
feature of the story for that purpose. Many wrong ideas concerning
the teachings of Jesus may be secured by attempting to make
allegories out of his parables.)
149:3.2 The religious leaders at Jerusalem were becoming well-nigh
frantic as a result of the recent conversion of young Abraham
and by the desertion of the three spies who had been baptized
by Peter, and who were now out with the evangelists on this
second preaching tour of Galilee. The Jewish leaders were increasingly
blinded by fear and prejudice, while their hearts were hardened
by the continued rejection of the appealing truths of the gospel
of the kingdom. When men shut off the appeal to the spirit that
dwells within them, there is little that can be done to modify
their attitude.
149:3.3 When Jesus first met with the evangelists at the Bethsaida
camp, in concluding his address, he said: " You should
remember that in body and mind-emotionally-men react individually.
The only uniform thing about men is the indwelling spirit. Though
divine spirits may vary somewhat in the nature and extent of
their experience, they react uniformly to all spiritual appeals.
Only through, and by appeal to, this spirit can mankind ever
attain unity and brotherhood. " But many of the leaders
of the Jews had closed the doors of their hearts to the spiritual
appeal of the gospel. From this day on they ceased not to plan
and plot for the Master's destruction. They were convinced that
Jesus must be apprehended, convicted, and executed as a religious
offender, a violator of the cardinal teachings of the Jewish
sacred law.

4. Progress of the Preaching
Tour
149:4.1 Jesus did very little public work
on this preaching tour, but he conducted many evening classes
with the believers in most of the cities and villages where
he chanced to sojourn with James and John. At one of these evening
sessions one of the younger evangelists asked Jesus a question
about anger, and the Master among other things, said in reply:
149:4.2 "Anger is a material manifestation which represents,
in a general way, the measure of the failure of the spiritual
nature to gain control of the combined intellectual and physical
natures. Anger indicates your lack of tolerant brotherly love
plus your lack of self-respect and self-control. Anger depletes
the health, debases the mind, and handicaps the spirit teacher
of man's soul. Have you not read in the Scriptures that `wrath
kills the foolish man,' and that man `tears himself in his anger'?
That `he who is slow of wrath is of great understanding,' while
`he who is hasty of temper exalts folly'? You all know that
`a soft answer turns away wrath,' and how `grievous words stir
up anger.' `Discretion defers anger,' while `he who has no control
over his own self is like a defenseless city without walls.'
`Wrath is cruel and anger is outrageous.' `Angry men stir up
strife, while the furious multiply their transgressions.' `Be
not hasty in spirit, for anger rests in the bosom of fools.'"
Before Jesus ceased speaking, he said further: "Let your
hearts be so dominated by love that your spirit guide will have
little trouble in delivering you from the tendency to give vent
to those outbursts of animal anger which are inconsistent with
the status of divine sonship."
149:4.3 On this same occasion the Master talked to the group
about the desirability of possessing well-balanced characters.
He recognized that it was necessary for most men to devote themselves
to the mastery of some vocation, but he deplored all tendency
toward overspecialization, toward becoming narrow-minded and
circumscribed in life's activities. He called attention to the
fact that any virtue, if carried to extremes, may become a vice.
Jesus always preached temperance and taught consistency-proportionate
adjustment of life problems. He pointed out that overmuch sympathy
and pity may degenerate into serious emotional instability;
that enthusiasm may drive on into fanaticism. He discussed one
of their former associates whose imagination had led him off
into visionary and impractical undertakings. At the same time
he warned them against the dangers of the dullness of overconservative
mediocrity.
149:4.4 And then Jesus discoursed on the dangers of courage
and faith, how they sometimes lead unthinking souls on to recklessness
and presumption. He also showed how prudence and discretion,
when carried too far, lead to cowardice and failure. He exhorted
his hearers to strive for originality while they shunned all
tendency toward eccentricity. He pleaded for sympathy without
sentimentality, piety without sanctimoniousness. He taught reverence
free from fear and superstition.
149:4.5 It was not so much what Jesus taught about the balanced
character that impressed his associates as the fact that his
own life was such an eloquent exemplification of his teaching.
He lived in the midst of stress and storm, but he never wavered.
His enemies continually laid snares for him, but they never
entrapped him. The wise and learned endeavored to trip him,
but he did not stumble. They sought to embroil him in debate,
but his answers were always enlightening, dignified, and final.
When he was interrupted in his discourses with multitudinous
questions, his answers were always significant and conclusive.
Never did he resort to ignoble tactics in meeting the continuous
pressure of his enemies, who did not hesitate to employ every
sort of false, unfair, and unrighteous mode of attack upon him.
149:4.6 While it is true that many men and women must assiduously
apply themselves to some definite pursuit as a livelihood vocation,
it is nevertheless wholly desirable that human beings should
cultivate a wide range of cultural familiarity with life as
it is lived on earth. Truly educated persons are not satisfied
with remaining in ignorance of the lives and doings of their
fellows.

5. Lesson Regarding Contentment
149:5.1 When Jesus was visiting the group
of evangelists working under the supervision of Simon Zelotes,
during their evening conference Simon asked the Master: "Why
are some persons so much more happy and contented than others?
Is contentment a matter of religious experience?" Among
other things, Jesus said in answer to Simon's question:
149:5.2 "Simon, some persons are naturally more happy than
others. Much, very much, depends upon the willingness of man
to be led and directed by the Father's spirit which lives within
him. Have you not read in the Scriptures the words of the wise
man, `The spirit of man is the candle of the Lord, searching
all the inward parts'? And also that such spirit-led mortals
say: `The lines are fallen to me in pleasant places; yes, I
have a goodly heritage.' `A little that a righteous man has
is better than the riches of many wicked,' for `a good man shall
be satisfied from within himself.' `A merry heart makes a cheerful
countenance and is a continual feast. Better is a little with
the reverence of the Lord than great treasure and trouble therewith.
Better is a dinner of herbs where love is than a fatted ox and
hatred therewith. Better is a little with righteousness than
great revenues without rectitude.' `A merry heart does good
like a medicine.' `Better is a handful with composure than a
superabundance with sorrow and vexation of spirit.'
149:5.3 "Much of man's sorrow is born of the disappointment
of his ambitions and the wounding of his pride. Although men
owe a duty to themselves to make the best of their lives on
earth, having thus sincerely exerted themselves, they should
cheerfully accept their lot and exercise ingenuity in making
the most of that which has fallen to their hands. All too many
of man's troubles take origin in the fear soil of his own natural
heart. `The wicked flee when no man pursues.' `The wicked are
like the troubled sea, for it cannot rest, but its waters cast
up mire and dirt; there is no peace, says God, for the wicked.'
149:5.4 "Seek not, then, for false peace and transient
joy but rather for the assurance of faith and the sureties of
divine sonship which yield composure, contentment, and supreme
joy in the spirit."
149:5.5 Jesus hardly regarded this world as a "vale of
tears." He rather looked upon it as the birth sphere of
the eternal and immortal spirits of Paradise ascension, the
"vale of soul making."

6. The ¡°Fear
of the Lord¡±
149:6.1 It was at Gamala, during the evening
conference, that Philip said to Jesus: "Master, why is
it that the Scriptures instruct us to `fear the Lord,' while
you would have us look to the Father in heaven without fear?
How are we to harmonize these teachings?" And Jesus replied
to Philip, saying:
149:6.2 "My children, I am not surprised that you ask such
questions. In the beginning it was only through fear that man
could learn reverence, but I have come to reveal the Father's
love so that you will be attracted to the worship of the Eternal
by the drawing of a son's affectionate recognition and reciprocation
of the Father's profound and perfect love. I would deliver you
from the bondage of driving yourselves through slavish fear
to the irksome service of a jealous and wrathful King-God. I
would instruct you in the Father-son relationship of God and
man so that you may be joyfully led into that sublime and supernal
free worship of a loving, just, and merciful Father-God.
149:6.3 "The `fear of the Lord' has had different meanings
in the successive ages, coming up from fear, through anguish
and dread, to awe and reverence. And now from reverence I would
lead you up, through recognition, realization, and appreciation,
to love. When man recognizes only the works of God, he is led
to fear the Supreme; but when man begins to understand and experience
the personality and character of the living God, he is led increasingly
to love such a good and perfect, universal and eternal Father.
And it is just this changing of the relation of man to God that
constitutes the mission of the Son of Man on earth.
149:6.4 "Intelligent children do not fear their father
in order that they may receive good gifts from his hand; but
having already received the abundance of good things bestowed
by the dictates of the father's affection for his sons and daughters,
these much loved children are led to love their father in responsive
recognition and appreciation of such munificent beneficence.
The goodness of God leads to repentance; the beneficence of
God leads to service; the mercy of God leads to salvation; while
the love of God leads to intelligent and freehearted worship.
149:6.5 "Your forebears feared God because he was mighty
and mysterious. You shall adore him because he is magnificent
in love, plenteous in mercy, and glorious in truth. The power
of God engenders fear in the heart of man, but the nobility
and righteousness of his personality beget reverence, love,
and willing worship. A dutiful and affectionate son does not
fear or dread even a mighty and noble father. I have come into
the world to put love in the place of fear, joy in the place
of sorrow, confidence in the place of dread, loving service
and appreciative worship in the place of slavish bondage and
meaningless ceremonies. But it is still true of those who sit
in darkness that `the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.'
But when the light has more fully come, the sons of God are
led to praise the Infinite for what he is rather than to fear
him for what he does.
149:6.6 "When children are young and unthinking, they must
necessarily be admonished to honor their parents; but when they
grow older and become somewhat more appreciative of the benefits
of the parental ministry and protection, they are led up, through
understanding respect and increasing affection, to that level
of experience where they actually love their parents for what
they are more than for what they have done. The father naturally
loves his child, but the child must develop his love for the
father from the fear of what the father can do, through awe,
dread, dependence, and reverence, to the appreciative and affectionate
regard of love.
149:6.7 "You have been taught that you should `fear God
and keep his commandments, for that is the whole duty of man.'
But I have come to give you a new and higher commandment. I
would teach you to `love God and learn to do his will, for that
is the highest privilege of the liberated sons of God.' Your
fathers were taught to `fear God-the Almighty King.' I teach
you, `Love God-the all-merciful Father.'
149:6.8 "In the kingdom of heaven, which I have come to
declare, there is no high and mighty king; this kingdom is a
divine family. The universally recognized and unreservedly worshiped
center and head of this far-flung brotherhood of intelligent
beings is my Father and your Father. I am his Son, and you are
also his sons. Therefore it is eternally true that you and I
are brethren in the heavenly estate, and all the more so since
we have become brethren in the flesh of the earthly life. Cease,
then, to fear God as a king or serve him as a master; learn
to reverence him as the Creator; honor him as the Father of
your spirit youth; love him as a merciful defender; and ultimately
worship him as the loving and all-wise Father of your more mature
spiritual realization and appreciation.
149:6.9 "Out of your wrong concepts of the Father in heaven
grow your false ideas of humility and springs much of your hypocrisy.
Man may be a worm of the dust by nature and origin, but when
he becomes indwelt by my Father's spirit, that man becomes divine
in his destiny. The bestowal spirit of my Father will surely
return to the divine source and universe level of origin, and
the human soul of mortal man which shall have become the reborn
child of this indwelling spirit shall certainly ascend with
the divine spirit to the very presence of the eternal Father.
149:6.10 "Humility, indeed, becomes mortal man who receives
all these gifts from the Father in heaven, albeit there is a
divine dignity attached to all such faith candidates for the
eternal ascent of the heavenly kingdom. The meaningless and
menial practices of an ostentatious and false humility are incompatible
with the appreciation of the source of your salvation and the
recognition of the destiny of your spirit-born souls. Humility
before God is altogether appropriate in the depths of your hearts;
meekness before men is commendable; but the hypocrisy of self-conscious
and attention-craving humility is childish and unworthy of the
enlightened sons of the kingdom.
149:6.11 "You do well to be meek before God and self-controlled
before men, but let your meekness be of spiritual origin and
not the self-deceptive display of a self-conscious sense of
self-righteous superiority. The prophet spoke advisedly when
he said, `Walk humbly with God,' for, while the Father in heaven
is the Infinite and the Eternal, he also dwells `with him who
is of a contrite mind and a humble spirit.' My Father disdains
pride, loathes hypocrisy, and abhors iniquity. And it was to
emphasize the value of sincerity and perfect trust in the loving
support and faithful guidance of the heavenly Father that I
have so often referred to the little child as illustrative of
the attitude of mind and the response of spirit which are so
essential to the entrance of mortal man into the spirit realities
of the kingdom of heaven.
149:6.12 "Well did the Prophet Jeremiah describe many mortals
when he said: `You are near God in the mouth but far from him
in the heart.' And have you not also read that direful warning
of the prophet who said: `The priests thereof teach for hire,
and the prophets thereof divine for money. At the same time
they profess piety and proclaim that the Lord is with them.'
Have you not been well warned against those who `speak peace
to their neighbors when mischief is in their hearts,' those
who `flatter with the lips while the heart is given to double-dealing'?
Of all the sorrows of a trusting man, none are so terrible as
to be `wounded in the house of a trusted friend.'"

7. Returning
to Bethsaida
149:7.1 Andrew, in consultation with Simon
Peter and with the approval of Jesus, had instructed David at
Bethsaida to dispatch messengers to the various preaching groups
with instructions to terminate the tour and return to Bethsaida
some time on Thursday, December 30. By supper time on that rainy
day all of the apostolic party and the teaching evangelists
had arrived at the Zebedee home.
149:7.2 The group remained together over the Sabbath day, being
accommodated in the homes of Bethsaida and near-by Capernaum,
after which the entire party was granted a two weeks' recess
to go home to their families, visit their friends, or go fishing.
The two or three days they were together in Bethsaida were,
indeed, exhilarating and inspiring; even the older teachers
were edified by the young preachers as they narrated their experiences.
149:7.3 Of the 117 evangelists who participated in this second
preaching tour of Galilee, only about seventy-five survived
the test of actual experience and were on hand to be assigned
to service at the end of the two weeks' recess. Jesus, with
Andrew, Peter, James, and John, remained at the Zebedee home
